The Hyperlite Shift Wakesurf Board Performance Deck is a true skim-style board shaped by Aaron Stumpf for intermediate and advanced riders who want fast acceleration, surface spins, and switch-stance riding. Its hand-crafted epoxy construction combines an ultra-light EPS core with a center wood stringer for a defined board structure. A minimal rocker line and flat base create a low-drag skim profile, while the blunt tip and tail support cleaner tracking when riders shift between regular and switch stances.

The Shift uses a wide diamond squash tail, single Solo Skim fin, and a full-deck machined diamond EVA pad with an extended center arch bar and kicktail. Available sizes include 45 inches with 6.35 liters for riders under 170 lb, 50 inches with 8 liters for riders under 200 lb, and 55 inches with 9.5 liters for riders 180 lb and above. The included 2-inch center fin provides the specified skim-style tracking configuration for surface maneuvers and active board control.
